A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    P haedrus: Really? Yes Really

    If the Dems were in power we would not be in Iraq.

    If the Dems were in you wouldn't have so many incompetent Bushies running agencies.

    See Gonzalez.

    If the Dems were in power we would not have a housing bubble which has on the brink of a depression.

    that was created by the Bush Admin.

    Predatory Lenders' Partner in Crime

    How the Bush Administration Stopped the States From Stepping In to Help Consumers.

    By Eliot Spitzer

    Thursday, February 14, 2008; Page A25

    When history tells the story of the subprime lending crisis and recounts its devastating effects on the lives of so many innocent homeowners, the Bush administration will not be judged favorably. The tale is still unfolding, but when the dust settles, it will be judged as a willing accomplice to the lenders who went to any lengths in their quest for profits. So willing, in fact, that it used the power of the federal government in an unprecedented assault on state legislatures, as well as on state attorneys general and anyone else on the side of consumers.

    This was Spitzer's death warrant. A month later he pops up on an FBI bug.

    So when Bush says they never saw it coming. They saw it coming. Just throw this in the pile of crimes by the Bush admin.
